Lilly's Wedding Quilt

Lilly’s Wedding Quilt is an Amish romance story about a young school teacher named Lilly who, while on her way to a wedding, gets caught in the rain and decides to seek shelter in a barn. The barn was not empty as she expected. She finds a young Amish man who she has secretly loved for years, Jacob, hiding in the barn. Jacob had stolen an abused horse from an Englisch man and the police are looking for him. Jacob was shot while escaping with the horse and the only one who can help patch him up is the groom at the wedding, who is marrying the only woman Jacob ever loved, Sarah. Lilly convinces Jacob to come to the wedding with her to let the groom help him. They reach the wedding only to find the police arriving shortly after, wanting to see Jacob about the theft. Lilly tells the police that she was with Jacob the night the horse was stolen, and Jacob, not wanting Lilly to be scandalized, continues the lie by telling everyone that they are engaged to be married. The rest of the story continues, with Lilly and Jacob dealing with their wedding, their feelings for each other, jealousy, family and the rest of the Amish community.

I really enjoyed this story, another sweet and cute Amish romance. I am beginning to like them much more than regular Harlequin romance novels. The Amish women seem to be more courageous and more apt to speak their minds than their contemporary counterparts. The book was a quick read, I was able to read it in one sitting, mostly because I wanted to see what would happen next. The writing style is perfect, and I look forward to reading more from this author. I also can't wait for further books about the other characters, I would love to see Jacob's brother Seth find his own true love also.
